Pioneer DVR-LX60D 250GB Storage, , Upscaling DVD Recorder Reviews

+ good looking model

- clock in display too small
it is not user frienly
very difficult to set timer
i had a panasonic dvd recorder previously iam sorry i didnt stick with it

+ Stylish with excellent performance. Can't fault it so far.

- The scroll wheel on the handset is too sensitive for easy use.

+ Will read from or write to many different formats. Stores music, still images and video. Reads from a USB-connected card reader or from a data DVD to view/store your digital camera pictures. Can also store your music from a PC or CDs to make a personal "Jukebox" on the hard disk. Easy to edit out commercials if you want to save a TV movie onto DVD. Hard to get to grips with all of the available features, but it's well worth the effort. Recorded quality, even at LP setting (recording over 4 hours on a DVD) is almost impossible to differentiate from live broadcast - excellent!

- The remote control is sometimes slow (a software problem?), making it difficult to select programmes from the Electronic Programme Guide quickly, because of storage of several directional clicks, which suddenly "play back" to over-run the desired position. With familiarity this is not a big problem. This recorder also comes with a HUGE manual, with operating details badly explained in some sections, so it takes quite a while (and trial and error) to get familiar with all of it, but it eventually repays the effort.

+ Full of features, reasonably easy to use interface

- Terrible remote control - really, really bad.

+ High quality product, excellent picture quality, very large hard drive, analogue and digital tuners.

- None
